Good God...Is that DJ White's music???? He's got a chair!

Ugh, as a Pacers fan, I hope it's not true, but it would be a great fit for DJ. Best of luck to him!

Just playing...heh. I'm somewhat of a spelling/grammar policeman.

Plus, the Cubs are 0-2. I'm getting restless.

Rumor has it that McGee is planning on transferring because everyone refuses to spell his name correctly.

Re: On Dan Dakich and the dismissal at The Dagger

I heard "dismissal" in the same sentence as "Dakich", and got really excited.

Dan, your time is up.

What makes you say that?

I thought this was a bad April Fools' joke.

It's not.

Next year, your 2008-09 Indiana Hoosiers!
Crawford
Roth
McGee
Taber
Holman

Yikes.

Re: ITH Super Happy Fun Time Coaching Search: Tom Crean

SocksShortsSwish — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 09:50:11 -0000

Crean seems like an animated version of Mike Davis to me. Great recruiter, and his kids stall and lose in big games. How good should they be with two guards like James and McNeal?

Better than a 2nd round exit.

Big A, big ups for the Sean Miller shoutout.

But, if Sandy listens to her radio while she's filing, I should be able to listen to mine at a reasonable volume while I'm collating...

It's not NCAA Football 2k8. You can't go deep to Hardy every play.

Outside of a QB and a WR, what talent "was there" as you insist???

I'll do anything for 500 words on why Herman Wells fell asleep at late-Knight era games.

Dude, you're a homophobe. Absolutely no reason to use that kind of talk.

See, these are comments I can at least respectfully agree to disagree on.

Words like "awful" or "f%%%%%% Bill Lynch" get me fired up though.

I'll totally agree with you on one thing. There's only one Coach Hep.

Re: Should Indiana be interested in Scott Skiles?

SocksShortsSwish — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 18:25:14 -0000

No way. Lynch is NOT a terrible coach.

Again, first bowl game in 14 years? That's a good thing, maybe a great thing. And if we haven't been to a bowl in 14 years, let me channel Rick Pitino and say, "Joe Paterno isn't walking through that door. Bobby Bowden isn't walking through that door."

Lynch was actually my collegiate coach for one year. The man is a great coach. You'll be pleased with him if you let him build a program and get his feet set in a Big Ten atmosphere.

Remember, like I said, this is Indiana football. Facilities suck. 1 bowl game in 14 years. Basketball school. I'd say Coach Lynch did a great job last year in his first year as HC.

Big A didn't forgive him...he did what a blog runner does. He brought up the possibility after a news leak about him. Big A said he was indifferent. And now he's asked us to discuss.

Which, for discussion's sake, I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of Scotty "Napoleon" Skiles and would echo your love for Sean "The other Teen Wolf" Miller.

Whoa there buddy. Bill Lynch? How was that a "bad hire"?

Coach Lynch came in with tons of head coaching experience. He led the Hoosiers to their first bowl game in 14 years. He took over for his best friend, who had instituted an amazing team culture before his death--doesn't that sound like a situation in which you'd want a stabilizing hire like an assistant/the late head coach's best friend?

I'll accept the MD and KS rant, but not Bill Lynch. And certainly not with an adjective in front of his name that has no place. He's much better than that.

Isn't April Fools' Day a few weeks out?

No, no, a million times no. I'd rather not have a coach who has ever uttered the phrase, "People say they've partied with me and shit."

Re: Harry Gonso pegged to lead coaching search
